Let's get right to it. Clearly the Saints and the Eagles are the best two teams in the NFC. Clearly their game determined our conference's entrant into the Super Bowl. Clearly either of them could play with Baltimore or Indianapolis. Maybe the Chargers are that much better than everyone else this year, but at least the Saints will get that shot, while we, a city that needed the celebration even more than New Orleans, are left to suffer another Rocky story, while we are left the guy who threw it all on the line, the guy who should have won, but now will simply be another loser. With Donovan Fucking McNabb coming back next year, there'll be no sequel, and that is the worst part of this loss. The fact that now Jeff Garcia, a man who needs to be honored as a hero of the city, is now finished. This was it, a singular moment in time, that has now passed us by. And why? Because of that fucking hurricane, because of the fact that poor officiating still occurs in the NFL (not even the false start, but the phantom Dhani Jones holding call, the lack of which would have forced the Saints to punt and kept the score 21-20) and the fact that our nation is entirely too maudlin.
